Furthermore, the shop owner/operator must ensure that
all electrical equipment and operating material is opera-
ted in keeping with electrical engineering principles.
If a piece of electrical equipment or operating material
is found to be defective, i.e. it does not or no longer
complies with electrical engineering principles, the shop
owner/operator must ensure that the fault is rectified im-
mediately and, in the event that imminent danger exists,
also ensure that the electrical equipment or the electrical
operating material is not used.
Tests (taking Germany as an example):
R
The shop owner/operator must ensure that all elec-
trical systems and equipment are tested by a quali-
fied electrician or under the guidance of a qualified
electrician to ensure they are in proper working
order:
$
Before starting up for the first time.
$
Before starting for the first time after modifica-
tion or repair.
$
At specific time intervals. Intervals are to be
measured such that faults that must be expected
to occur, are determined in good time.
R
The test is to take the electrical engineering princip-
les relating hereto into account.
R
Upon request of the trade association a test manual
is to be maintained into which specific entries are
made.
